@L_T_P its your money lmao what did you expect

I unbox a Buck’s Brim, whit sizzling effect

this is legit the most interesting and unique effect ever added to the game, thank you for creating this.

RIP sizzling yule hog, never unboxed.

Its so sad that we dont have a sizzling yule hog yet... :sobs:

After unboxing WAY TOO MANY cases, I finally unboxed 2 unusuals. Can you imagine my disappointment when they were both Sizzling?? Arguably the worst effect in the game, copying steaming, which already sucked. Unbelievable. Thanks SO much for “creating” this.

Thank you all so much for voting for this, for your support, and for the kind comments! I greatly appreciate it, and am so thankful for this effect's inclusion! I also want to mention that because this effect utilizes position on model and a refract effect, it will not look as intended in your loadout view. I figure this is worth mentioning for those of you who might unbox/trade for it, and also to note that you will see this effect shine most while in well-lit areas of any map. If you happen to unbox it, please feel free to reach out and show me. I'm super curious to see how it looks, since every hat will look slightly different with this effect. Thanks again y'all, I hope you enjoy it!

A unusual effect like this should have been in the game a long time ago.

@LAW

lil bro doesn't even have pyrovision goggles yet. Fuc outta here, the gambling addicts are talking.

Imagine all the gross sets we could make with this effect lol
I love it.

@LAW
"Waaa it's not bright green or purple with community sparkles and energy particles, waaa"
That's what you sound like rofl

Finally, an unusual effect that is simple, not overbearing with particles, and would fit in with the classic unusual effects.

this is a good idea. there's so many food themed hats in tf2, this will fit perfectly with those kind of hats

This has got to be the worst effect I have ever seen in the game... Imagine unboxing but get this effect

Yay, ya did it!

Finally, cheap effect that actual players will buy and use instead of being neon stuff that will get scalped by traders

BASED SOVL

why add this crap ew

Congrats. This is a peak addition

GG

I’m very happy this got in. Definitely getting a hat with this!

one of the best in awhile, ppl be making these gauche ass ugly designs this ones a good subtle idea

congrats

10/10

You couldn't have picked a better hat as an example for this effect. Great job Orange.

Hey that makes me think, why not a variant of this that’s dark green?

thats why the car hit em

this is so cool!

subtle & sweet.

10/10.

Absolutely, I'd love for this to be added. It's a nice change to see an unusual effect that looks like it could actually match and look nice with certain hats rather than just an explosion of rgb lights and fractals

Thank you all so much for the comments on this, I really appreciate it, and I'm very happy to hear that a good portion of y'all enjoy this effect! :)

this looks insanely good

I hate unusual effects but this is a delightful exception

@orange, yep, i think so! Again, grats, really phenomenal execution

Upgraded smoking

@Dabbledornk - I'm glad you like it, and thanks for pointing that out! I had initially wanted to use an SFM render because I think it's easier for gif icons, but you're right that it definitely didn't do the effect any favors. Hopefully this new one is better :)

Ridiculously cool, only wish the promo gif was the picture of the scout in the light. You're right, it looks amazing in the light, but IMO, the promo gif doesn't show it off well enough, almost skipped past it

Simple, well done and creative

best unusual

By far the most creative and fitting use of hat-bound unusual effects. This is so cool.

This is extremely well done. Looks great on the ham

literally just steaming?

what steaming should have been

oh that isn't steam, it's sizzling! sizzle from the unusual effect we're having! mm, Sizzling Unusual Effect!

No rare happy skull
It looks like it belongs in the game

Finally, a good looking unusual without pictures or a lot of stuff going on! it looks really good and works with many hats!

Dang this is cool

Solid and subtle, good job!

Cool effect

love the warping

God, I miss old gen style unusual effects.
